[ExI] The smart-stupid dimension

[John Clark]

Libertarians on the stupid side of the smart-stupid dimension think it
would be nice if the ENORMOUS and rapidly increasing gap between the rich
and the poor that has occurred in every part of the world in the last few
years will never cause them any problems and therefore it never will,
libertarians on the smart side of that dimension think it's only a matter
of time before it does cause problems and it doesn't matter if that would
be nice or not.

Liberals on the stupid side of the smart-stupid dimension think there would
be more justice in society if intelligence has nothing to do with genetics
and sexual preference has nothing to do with anything *except* genetics, so
that is the way things must be.  Liberals on the smart side of that
dimension think genes are the way genes are and social justice has nothing
to do with it.

Conservatives on the stupid side of the smart-stupid dimension think it
would be nice if homosexuality and pornography caused earthquakes floods
and hurricanes and therefore they must, conservatives on the smart side of
that dimension think the cause and effect relationship has not yet been
proven.
